CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C F Em F Em C
How can there be [F]trouble in this [Em]world?
With the [F]colour in these [G]hills
The [F]blue October [G]sky
This [F]little [C]road that [F]winds along the [G]river
[C]Dusty barns and [F]tractors in the [Em]fields
And [F]families sit in front [G]yards
Or [F]stand outside the [G]churches
[F]Kids are throwing [G]footballs
And [F]pulling carts of [G]pumpkins
And the [F]morning [C]sun is [F]sparkling [G]on the [C]water
How can there be such [F]trouble in this [Em]world?
Where the [F]mountains roll so [G]gently
[F]Deer graze on the [G]hillsides
[F]Birds chat on the [G]phone lines
The [F]whole wide [C]world's a [F]prayer for Sunday [G]morning
The [C]geese inspect the [F]stubble in the [Em]fields
And [F]all along the [G]roadside
[F]Families stop to [G]wonder
At the [F]new October [G]morning
And a [F]red tailed hawk is [G]circling
And a [F]father hugs his [C]daughter
And an [F]old man holds the [C]car door for his [Am]wife to come and [F]see
Then they [C]turn and smile at [F]me
How can there [Dm]be such [G]trouble in this [Am]world?
I [F]know of course, I [C]know, that this is [F]not the only [G]picture
F C F ~ G
I don't of course, I don't, know what to do
INSTRUMENTAL: F C F ~ ~ G F C ~ ~ G C F Em C
But the road keeps winding [F]through the after[Em]noon
And it [F]doesn't know the [G]sorrow
Or an [F]inkling of the [G]shadow
Of the [F]rage across the [G]water
The [F]hatred and the [G]horror
It just [F]wanders through this [C]valley with the [Am]river by its [C]side
As the [F]light fades from the [G]sky
The [C]beautiful [F]light fades from the [C]sky
